Nestled on 5.82 scenic acres in the Texas Hill Country, 8015 Ozark offers a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a truly distinctive property. Surrounded by mature oaks, native wildlife, and beautiful natural terrain, this one-of-a-kind estate combines privacy, character, and unlimited potential while remaining convenient to San Marcos, Wimberley, and Austin. The three-story home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms with a flexible floor plan ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or extended-family living. The lower level includes its own entrance, combined kitchen and living area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, creating a separate living arrangement from the main residence. Upstairs, soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, a dramatic stone fireplace, and expansive windows showcase the home's unique architectural style and Hill Country views. A striking spiral staircase connects all three levels, while wraparound decking, balconies, and a large covered patio provide multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy the surrounding landscape. The substantial barn offers endless possibilities for storage, workshops, hobbies, entertaining, family gatherings, or future customization. With minimal HOA restrictions, beautiful acreage, unique architecture, and tremendous upside potential, 8015 Ozark presents a rare chance to create an extraordinary Hill Country retreat. The current owners have already completed important groundwork, including removal of accumulated contents throughout the home and barn, servicing the septic system, and installing a new line from the house. While the property will require renovation and investment, the combination of unique architecture, usable acreage, established infrastructure, and exceptional Hill Country setting creates an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find. Properties like this rarely come along—an opportunity to transform an already beautiful setting into something truly exceptional.

Set in San Marcos with a wooded backdrop and a private pool, this light-filled 3 bedroom, 2 bath home strikes the perfect balance between a peaceful retreat and an entertainer's dream. Tall ceilings throughout give the space an airy, open feel, and the long list of recent upgrades means you can move in and enjoy it from day one. Everything that matters has been touched. A brand-new, high-efficiency AC with rebalanced ductwork keeps every room comfortable year-round. New flooring and fresh paint give the interior a clean, modern feel throughout. The water softener, water heater, and dishwasher are all less than two years old, and the kitchen features granite countertops alongside a new range and microwave — ready for everything from quiet weeknight dinners to full weekend gatherings. The primary suite is a proper retreat — spacious and serene, with a jetted garden tub, separate shower, two walk-in closets, and direct access to the back patio. A front office adds flexibility for working from home or a dedicated quiet space. Outside is where this home truly shines. The pool has been fully refinished and fitted with a new heater, making it just as inviting on a cool spring evening as it is on a scorching Texas afternoon. The covered patio backs to a wooded area where deer, fox, and squirrels are regular visitors — the kind of backyard view that never gets old. The location is just as impressive. Less than a mile from Texas State University, two neighborhood parks, and direct access to the San Marcos Greenbelt — your backyard is a gateway to over 40 miles of hiking, biking, and wildlife watching. Move-in ready and built for living well.
